“Just like her friend. She died in the accident” Mrs. Emily
added.
it came to Daniel as a blow. Tears began to circulate
his eyes.
“What? no oo oh, she can’t be dead” Daniel cried.
“You’re
now going to marry. She’s not meant for you” Mrs. Emily
said.
“No, she can’t be dead. don’t say she’s dead. I will
believe
if you say she’s not dead. oh God” Daniel cried and
fainted.
“Doctor. doctor” Mrs. Emily screamed rushing to the
doctor’s office.

The following day.
it’s a new day now. And Daniel seems not to get over
the
shocked that Ella is dead. The door to her ward opened
and
Cynthia walked in with a food flask to see Mrs. Emily
already
there. She greeted her and went to Daniel, sitting on his
hospital
bed. She tried to cheer him up, all her effort was effortless.

Days later.
Daniel has fully recovered and has been discharged
from
the hospital. He tried not to believe that Ella was dead,but,
the
evidence his mum showed him has proven that she’s
really
dead. He kept staring at the grave in the graveyard
boldly
written” In memory of miss Ella. we missed you” tears
dropped
from his eyes the more. If someone should tell him
that
Ella is dead, he won’t believe.but, her grave has already
proven it all.
“Ella, so you are truly dead?” Daniel cried shaking his
head.
“Oh God, oh God” Daniel screamed more loudly. He
doesn’t
seen the reason of living without Ella. he wished, he was
dead.
“You
once told me, that only death could tear us apart.
You
are wrong, because, we will always be together. You
will
always be in my heart Ella, for ever. I’m sorry. I’m so
sorry” Daniel
said and broke down in tears the more.
“I’m
so sorry. mummy’s sorry. she’s really hurt. she’s so
sorry;
and so, she gave you a be-fitted burial. Oh God, Ella
I
missed you. I mi…..ss y….ou” Daniel said tearfully.

At Doctor Mike’s house.
“oh come on Ella, you can do it. move” doctor mike
told
Ella who was screaming, trying to move her leg. meanwhile, she’s
already
standing up closer to a wall in the dining room.
“Move it,
yes move it. good” Doctor mike said to Ella who was
struggling
to move her leg.
“I can’t” Ella responded.
“you can” Doctor mike told her.
“I can’t”
“keep on trying. move, move” Doctor mike said to Ella.
“I
can’t” Ella responded falling to the floor. Doctor mike
rushed
to her. He helped her up, handing her walking stick to
her.
she screamed. She managed to help herself with the
walking
stick down to the sitting room and sat on a cushion.
doctor
mike sat opposite her looking at her.
“I
disappointed you right?” Ella asked feeling sad.
doctor
mike shook his head negatively.
“Do you know why I brought you to my house to
stay?” doctor mike asked.
“I guess,because I have nowhere else to go” Ella
responded.
“Not really” He answered.
“then why?” Ella asked.
“The moment I saw you in that hospital ward. My
heart
went out. I don’t know precisely why, but like a father
to
a daughter. I wanted to help” doctor mike said.
“Thank
you very much sir” Ella responded.
“You
don’t seem happy?” Doctor mike asked Ella who
was feeling sad.
“I want to tell you a little story. I was once married,
but,
my wife died six years ago” Mr. mike said.
“I’m so
sorry sir” Ella responded in a sympathetic way.
“There’s
no need to be. They say, time heals all wounds. I
have
tried to believe that but”
“what happened to her sir? was she ill?” Ella asked.
“she
died of grieve. I once had a daughter, if she was to
be
alive now, she will be about the same age with you.
we
gave her everything; at least,
we
tried. I must blame myself to be concern about my
work
that I didn’t notice when my little baby took drugs.
probably,
I wasn’t a good father” Doctor mike said standing up
with tears.
“She died of overdose drugs. the grieve was too much
for
my wife,so, she also died a year after”
“I’m so sorry sir”
“we all make mistakes. But, the greatest mistakes upon,
it’s
for us to delay to learn from our past mistakes. This
life
has taught me something. I have to be in the hospital
now” He
said and left with tears. Ella also broke down in tears
when
she remembered her love ones who died accidentally.
the
tears increased the more when she thought about her
love,
Daniel and why he hasn’t come looking for her.

:
At Austin’s hotel.
Daniel sat on a chair with his table empty. He wasn’t
there
to eat nor drink. Rather, he was there to think about his
broken
world. He kept staring at Ella’s picture which he was
holding
on his hands. It pains him that, what he treasured
most
is gone.” why Ella” He broke down in uncontrollable
tears.
